Cccp
CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack ) silent install package.
This excellent codec pack installs just the what is necessary to play any common codec (besides Quicktime and Real).
It uses DirectShow so that means Windows Media Player is no longer useless but can actually play stuff!

2009-09-09 32-bit only version
The /MERGETASKS=RegisterExtWMP means video files that CCCP allows you to view will open with Windows Media Player by default
I also place a shortcut directly in the Start Menu for users to access Media Player Classic should they want.
